34. Yes. But you are to self absorbed to even think of alternatives

I am on 5 different group text threads that touch base with all different family combinations possible.

It is noteworthy that you do not argue the premise that the Russians have and are TODAY using (see Wray's statement today) to attack Biden, simply that it is too inconvenient.

I would recommend everyone still on Facebook take a look at The Social Dilemma. Squinch Sep 2020 #1

Dude edhopper Sep 2020 #7

why? What is wrong with disseminating a legit voting info site--no matter how often? hlthe2b Sep 2020 #10

He has posted it over 30 times edhopper Sep 2020 #13

It isn't a commercial site. He breaks no rules doing so. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #14

He's Spamming the board, posting this over and over on random threads Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #31

So?. Why the hell ar DU/aDUers upset about posting VALID noncommercial site information on voting? hlthe2b Sep 2020 #33

You do know that the site is a creation of Colbert's? He announced it the other night in his niyad Sep 2020 #58

Yes, I posted it along with his monologue which I've been doing since 2017 Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #60

he is spamming obamanut2012 Sep 2020 #15

the rule is for commercial spamming. Not a public service legit voting information site hlthe2b Sep 2020 #18

Yes. He's posted this over 30 times on random threads with no context Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #32

The rule was for commercial spamming NOT for legitimate information for voting in this all crucial hlthe2b Sep 2020 #35

This is the definition of Spamming the board Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #36

YOU should convey your opinion to EarlG. We have never applied this rule to informative, valid hlthe2b Sep 2020 #38

This is not my opinion, it is the rule which MIRT is upholding. n/t Rhiannon12866 Sep 2020 #40

No it is not and apparently... hlthe2b Sep 2020 #41

Which, given you just did the same suggests a bit of problem with your interpretation. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #46

check posting history Kali Sep 2020 #61

GOTV efforts are disruptive? Perhaps those complaining could take the 3 seconds required to ignore hlthe2b Sep 2020 #68

it was an odd situation for MIRT and EarlG has been contacted Kali Sep 2020 #69

As he should. THIS is not within the current guidelines for "spam." It should be HIS determination. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #70

well he can reinstate him if he feels differently Kali Sep 2020 #73

Cyclical pattern with MIRT hlthe2b Sep 2020 #74

what about blog floggers who post the same shit Kali Sep 2020 #75

This poster stopped at 32 posts when he was called on it. I saw no further posts since hlthe2b Sep 2020 #76

nah, 40 posts total only the first 2 were "real" all the rest were spam Kali Sep 2020 #77

Then THREE juries refused to condemn him. Perhaps that SHOULD have told MIRT something hlthe2b Sep 2020 #78

unfortunately the juries couldn't see the 30 repeat posts of the one they were looking at Kali Sep 2020 #81

These weren't 30 threads. They were reply posts within threads. YOU believe it was disruptive. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #82

last reply on this Kali Sep 2020 #85

You don't know that any of those jurors found it disrupive. No jury voted to hide hlthe2b Sep 2020 #86

I believe I was on one of those juries. Blue_true Sep 2020 #108

Excuse me. I did not in any way at all challenge the jury's motives. Quite the opposite as I agree. hlthe2b Sep 2020 #109

I apparently mis-understood your post. I was replying to you. Blue_true Sep 2020 #110

No We were discussing something totally different. Not issues with alerts nor juries, nor decisions hlthe2b Sep 2020 #111

I dont get what's wrong with it? cwydro Sep 2020 #43

Stephen Colbert's effort. In his monologue the other night. niyad Sep 2020 #56

Yeah, I like him. cwydro Sep 2020 #57

Have absolutely no idea. niyad Sep 2020 #59

nothing wrong with it Kali Sep 2020 #62

I guess I've missed that. cwydro Sep 2020 #66

and that is probably why juries are leaving it Kali Sep 2020 #67

I have to admit I rarely click on links. cwydro Sep 2020 #71

I was asked to serve on a jury for this this morning. AngryOldDem Sep 2020 #122

With nearly 500 friends, family, peer group members - Ms. Toad Sep 2020 #54
